Shampoo bowls and Shampoo units
Shampoo units - guide to salon equipment
Shampoo units are a beautiful addition to every salon business. As you might guess, shampoo units are used for shampooing and rinsing. You might have come across the term “salon sink” - do you know what salon sinks are?
Salon sinks come with variety of bowl colors and fixtures and they include shampoo cabinets, shampoo bulkheads and the mentioned variety of shampoo bowls.
As mentioned, the unit is used for shampooing, rinsing and treating customer’s hair. During the treatment, the customer is comfortably seated in a backward position on a reclining chair.
Researches have shown that during prolonged treatments, the customer may suffer a neck nerve injury, because of the position of individual’s neck in the depression in the sink.
To prevent any possible injuries of customers, new types of shampoo units are developed and today, most of them are made with added facilities to prevent the problem of neck injury. The new U-shaped frame of the head support is a standard feature on most of today’s salon shampoo units.
These days, you can find shampoo units with elongated, perforated and flexible band of waterproof material on the market.
Euro style (European) shampoo units - what are they?
European units are the new type of units, freestanding backwash shampoo units. Fantastically designed, consisting of fiberglass base and porcelain bowls, these units are of great quality and innovative styling - a great addition to any salon business.
Newer Euro-style shampoo units offer a wide variety, ergonomic comfort and can be purchased for a very low price. Also, considering the fact that they come in a variety of designs, you can combine them with any kind of salon look.
How to choose the right shampoo unit or shampoo bowl?
You must always have customer’s satisfaction as your top priority.
- Is your shampoo unit easy to manage?
- Is it comfortable?
- Does it provide space?
- Does it provide stability?
- Does it provide a stylish look?
- Is the unit easy to operate?
If the stylist has to suffer back strain or the customer has to suffer from head strain, then the shampoo bowl just isn’t worth your time (even thought it could provide excellent water control).
Our experience showed that the new Euro styled tilting all in one shampoo units with shampoo bowls are very comfortable! The customer is practically sitting in a chair, being very at ease, while the stylist has no problem with managing shampooing or rinsing.
The stylist has many advantages too: the hair can be washed while standing in the rear of the unit, or from either side. Your stylist can use both of his hands, keep his back straight and since he’s not suffering any strains, the client will be provided with a more quality service.
There are some concerns with water management, but it can be easily solved with proper water pressure and longer side neck extensions for water collecting.
The overall opinion is that the European (Euro) style shampoo units are much better then the traditional shampoo units.
